Believe in the simple pleasures of life, wish I could get outdoors and into the woods more often. Was a ski/board bum in my past life, not much comes close to the thrill of untouched powder. Urban adventures that I like to partake in, besides the standard dinner and a movie, would include visiting art galleries / museums, going to the theater, dancing to live music, going to a lecture up at Uvic ... it's always good to come home
Pretty happy just to stay home, there's always a creative project on the go... I'm an ex shopoholic, trying my best to reduce my footprint - it's an ongoing battle, since i'm a sucker for impractical shoes .... i think of living off the grid, in similar comfort to what i have now. I think it would be empowering to be self-reliant, and then do my best to spread the word
My family, friends, being outdoors, music, and good food keep me grounded .... sensual 'n passionate when ignited ... doesn't take much to get me up and dancing...I am a reformed health nut, lover of the organic local produce ... my tv only works for movies, no Daily Show unfortunately....during hibernation season, one is most likely to find me in the company of a pile of library books.... when i travel, prefer to eat with the locals and stay in one place for a while
As I consider myself a realist, I believe it is best to put myself out there if i am to find a suitable gentleman
About you: an all'round righteous dude, ready to meet your match in a woman, fit, family-man, career oriented / professional, funny, educated, affectionate, bonus points if you love to cook...oh, and must love dogs 'n other furry creatures
Deep down i'm also a romantic, hoping to meet my partner in life and love
(did i just say that out loud??) However, new friends are always welcome and I appreciate meeting kindred spirits along the way .... I also have cute single friends ;)
"Relationships are like a true art ... they are in need of time, great attention, gentleness, and creative effort"
Likes: painting, old Woodie Allen, printmaking, reading, lakes 'n rivers, hikes, biking, genuine people, cooking with a partner, playing music, using ....
Hopes 'n Dreams: designing & building my own earth friendly home, traveling both near and far, getting back into skiing, learning to kayak
music: bluegrass, dub, Winehouse, house (Farina), Pearl Jam, Wilco, classical, ... good gosh, just scratching the surface

To meet in a comfortable environment is always best, somewhere that's condusive to good conversation
